Let's start with the good news. Michelle does some pretty stinkin' cute things. One thing that she has been doing lately has been putting her dolls to bed or "down for naps". She'll do it all on her own though so you never know when someone is going to be napping. She'll just come up to you and randomly say something like, "Mommy, you have to be quiet! Mini is sleeping." And for the next few minutes you had better be quiet or you'll have to go to time out! Unfortunately Michelle usually forget's that she has a doll sleeping somewhere so every now and then, when I'm getting ready to go to bed I'll find:

Mini Mouse in my bed, on my pillow, covered with our jean blanket.

"Baby" on my floor with all of our pillows and a beach towel.

Tina also has some good news to share. She's eating all human food!! Lol! We are officially a baby food free home! She'll eat anything from Peanut-butter and Jelly to Turkey and Cheese! She is not picky at all. As long as it fits into her mouth, she'll eat it. And, yes, that includes shoes, belts, toys and whatever else you leave on the floor for her to find!

Now for some bad news. Last year for Christmas Michelle got an easel/white board combo. She LOVED it!! She wasn't very good at putting the lids back onto the white board markers though so after three sets of dried out markers, I had to find a different solution. About two weeks ago I found white board CRAYONS!! Perfect!! Michelle thought they were pretty perfect too.

Perfect for coloring the walls...

and her kitchen...

and her trampoline...

and the chest...

and the doors...

but not for the easel.

So, what did I do? I bought a pack of wonderful, awesome, amazing magic erasers, and took away the crayons. :) Kids are so fun!
